Static assigned IPv6 addresses
-
Having a bit of a glitch getting a new client system to pick up a statically assigned IPv6 address from pfSense. I got it connected and it picked up an address from the dynamic pool. That let me get the DUID of the client and define a static address. Now I want the client to forget the initial address it got and pick up the defined address but I can't get it to let go of that first address.
I even changed the pool to a new range and restarting the client doesn't pickup the static assigned address. The client is an Odroid H2 running CentOS 7.6. pfSense is up to date on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2.
Is there a way to delete the lease from pfSense? I've tried using the trash can icon in "Status -> DHCPv6 Leases" but it doesn't seem to help, and at times it's not even there.

Android does not support DHCP6. Only SLAAC.(Oh. CentOS duh.) -
You'll need to force the client to release the address. I'm not sure on CentOS, but probably something like
dhclient -r eth0
whereeth0
is whatever your NIC actually is there.
